  1. SCOPE AND UPDATES TO THIS PRIVACY NOTICE

This Privacy Notice applies to personal information processed by us on the Realms Platform (https://realms.today/realms), which to make this Privacy Policy easier to read, will be called the “Services.”

An Important Note regarding Blockchain Technologies: If you participate in our Services relating to the creation and management of a decentralized autonomous organization (“DAO”), smart contracts will be employed that necessarily collect information, such as your cryptocurrency wallet address (which some legal jurisdictions may consider personal information), and that information will be stored on a public blockchain that we do not control. A smart contract is computer code that automatically processes events when certain conditions are met; for example, when a proposal is presented to a member’s DAO and after all needed votes are made by respective DAO member, the smart contract will execute the proposed action if the proposal passed. In these situations, your personal information will be stored on that blockchain through the execution of a smart contract and may not be able to be modified or deleted due to the immutable nature of the blockchain.  

Changes to our Privacy Notice. We may revise this Privacy Notice from time to time in our sole discretion. If there are any material changes to this Privacy Notice, we will notify you as required by applicable law. You understand and agree that you will be deemed to have accepted the updated Privacy Notice if you continue to use our Services after the new Privacy Notice takes effect.
